Mishra's counsel, Mrityunjay Kumar, told reporters that the vehicle was being driven by Mohan, a designated driver employed by Mishra’s family, and not Mishra himself. ADVERTISEMENT"The car was being driven by the driver, not by Shivam Mishra. During the investigation, Shivam Mishra's involvement was confirmed through evidence, CCTV footage and eyewitness accounts," Lal said. The FIR had initially named an unidentified driver of a Lamborghini car, but it was later updated to include Mishra as the accused. Shivam Mishra is the son of Banshidhar Exports Pvt Ltd's owner, K K Mishra, who had been under the I-T department's scanner for tax-related issues.
